Decoy Control Building is a Second World War military structure located in Somerset, England. The building served as a control point for decoy operations, part of the broader air defence strategy employed by British forces during the conflict. Such installations were designed to coordinate deceptive measures intended to mislead enemy aircraft and protect nearby installations or settlements from aerial bombardment. The structure survives as evidence of wartime engineering and the sophisticated defensive tactics developed during 1939 to 1945.
